Perhaps we could all agree that pets are the best when it comes to companionship and comfort. But more than friendship, it's surprising to know that these furry friends may also be able to help solve crimes. Here are 5 Crime Cases Solved by Extraordinary Pets.

5. Doberman Pinscher named Tunga
Dogs have long been known in history as animals capable of performing extraordinary tasks, some of which are impossible for humans to accomplish. Take for example this amazing story of Tunga, the hero Doberman Pinscher of Karnataka. 

4. Lori Auker and her pet cats
Criminal investigation experts often advise detectives never to miss checking on household pets. Cats, for instance, shed fur profusely. Most of the time, their hair sticks to anything. Any person with malicious intent will likely regret harming a cat owner.

3. Murder of Shirley Duguay 
The Shirley Duguay murder case will be remembered in crime history as the first to ever implement a unique forensic technique. 

2. Pet cockatoo named Bird
We can’t possibly know what went inside the mind of a man named Kevin Butler when he named his pet cockatoo “Bird.” There are two likely possibilities: he was a huge fan of the NBA legend Larry Bird, or he was just too lazy to think of a clever name. 

1. Murder of Oluwaseyi Ogunyemi 
It's quite disheartening to know that sometimes animals become involved in human crimes. We have to remember, though, that it is not their fault to be used as a threat or, in this story, a terrible killing machine.
